Vegan Sponge Cake Recipes

A sponge cake is a cake that utilizes baking soda, baking powder, eggs and/or solid fats to create or or manipulate gas bubbles and steam to allow the cake to rise during baking. These conditions give sponge cakes a light and airy texture. Vegan sponge cake recipes often use egg replacer ingredients such as starches, gels or fruit purées instead of eggs.

This Vegan Carrot Cake recipe is similar to the one here but it's designed for 8 inch cake pans. It's loaded with carrot-forward spices such as pineapple, molasses, cinnamon and cardamom. A touch of raisins and walnuts give this vegan cake a slightly more complex flavor and texture that is sure to please. Try it slathered with Cream Cheese Frosting.

This Vegan Banana Walnut Cake recipe is a staple birthday cake in my family. Nutmeg, walnuts, and a touch of vanilla extract really brings out the banana. It pairs perfectly with Chocolate Frosting or Ganache.
